The new branches of government

With this Constitution, they are planning to establish 3 different branches. The legislative branch would include a House of Representatives, which favors representation for the "large state plan", and a Senate which favors the New Jersey "small state plan;" this plan for the legislature was reached through the Great Compromise (people included in the creating of the compromises were Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, William Paterson and Edmund Randolph). This part of the government concerns me because I do not believe the House would truly represent the nation, and the Senate would be too powerful. I am concerned with the establishment of an executive branch. I don't want any one leader to have too much power in the government overall; I believe the states should have more power in the government that the national government and this executive branch would just be a diaster in the making and show resemblence to the British thrown. The executive branch would take away the state's power, would it not? The power of the new federal judiciary would take away power from the state judiciary, making justice unattainable and therefore be another way for the rich to oppress the poor. This means that with this new government we will either once again become a monarchy or fall into the hands of a corrupt aristocracy.

Pffft... federalism.

Federalism means that the state government must defer its' powers to the national government. I don't agree with that because I believe that the states should have more power, and too strong of a central government is not what this country needs. Do we really want a repeat of what happened with Britain? Too strong of a central government with out a clear declaration of rights will just lead to more chaos. Individual rights need to be protected, as they are in the Virginia Constitution. Every right for our state is outlined, and we don't need a strong power looming over the country with it's power being controlled in some way. The Constitution is valid in general, but we need something to outline the rights of individuals and protect the liberties of all citizens.
